*WATCH NOW* New Genshin Impact Sumeru Trailer - "Prelude to Wisdom"
Sumeru, the Land of Wisdom
By the end of the Archon Quest in Inazuma, Yae Miko suggested that our next destination should be Sumeru, but not without warning first, that Wisdom in the Dendro Nation is a type of currency.
In Prelude to Wisdom, we find that Sumeru treasures wisdom to the point that the Akademiya handled all state affairs. A legacy from the previous Dendro Archon, Rukkhadevata.
In addition, we also discover that all citizens of Sumeru can't dream and are connected by some ear gadget called the Akasha System.
Dendro Creatures & Sumeru Enemies
The second part of the video showed that the humidity and soil of Sumeru are ideal for Mushrooms to thrive.
They have evolved into several species that won't hesitate to protect the Rainforest.
We also received the first official glimpse of the new World Boss: Jadeplume Terrorshrooms, a gigantic peacock with solid legs made of ancient mushrooms.
The Eremites
In Sumeru, we will encounter a new force. The Emerites, settlers from an ancient desert civilization. The group is unaligned with any nation, but they are mercenaries.
In the desert, we will find advanced machines and fierce beasts that protect the ruins of the ancient civilization. The Emerites claim part of that legacy.
New Genshin Impact Characters
Perhaps the most exciting part of the video Prelude to Wisdom was the introduction of 5 new characters, including some details about their background story.
